ployed in  their  appropriate  work. 

13S.  Soldiers  shall  not  be  employed  as  extra-duty  men  for  any 
labor  in  camp  or  garrison  which  can  properly  be  performed  by  fatigue

139.--  No  extra-duty  men,  except  those  required  for  tlie  ordinary 
service  of  the  quartermaster,  commissary,  and  medical  departments, 
and  saddlers  in  mounted  companies,  will  be  employed  without  pre- 
vious authority  from  department  head  quarters,  except  in  case  of  ne- 
cessity, which  shall  be  promptly  reported  to  the  department  com- 
mander.

143.  Although  the  necessities  of  the  service  may  require  soldiers 
to  be  ordered  on  working  parties  as  a  duty,  commanding  officers  are 
to' bear  in  mind  that  fitness  for  military  service  by  instruction  and 
discipline  is  the  object  for  which  the  army  is  kept  on  foot,  and  that

cially the  mounted  troops,  in  labors  that  interfere  with  their  military

to  the  Confederate  States,  fully  to  account  for  all  moneys  and  public 
property  which  they  may  receive,  in  such  sums  as  the  Secretary  of 
War  shall  direct ;  and  the  officers  aforesaid  shall  renew  their  bonds

the  affidavit  of  each  surety,  stating  that  he  is  worth,  over  and  above 
his  debts  and  liabilities,  the  amount  of  the  bond,  or  such  other  sum 
as  he  may  specify ;  and  each  surety  shall  state  his  place  of  residence. 

146.  The  chiefs  of  disbursing  departments,  who  submit  requisi- 
tions lor  money  to  be  remitted  to  disbursing  officers,  shall  take  care

preceding  article,  any  public  money  entrusted  to  him  ;  and  every 
such  act  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  felony  and  an  embezzlement  of  so 
much  money  as  may  be  so  taken,  converted,  invested,  used,  loaned,

opinion,  better  jJi'ices  may  be  got.  Expenses  of  the  sale  will  be  paid 
from  the  proceeds.  The  auctioneer's  verified  account  of  the  sale  in 
detail,  and  the  vouchers  fox  the  expenses  of  the 'sale,  will  be  reported

ceiving officer  an  exact  list  of  them  in  duplicate  invoices,  and  the

suppose  them  miscarried,  he  shall  promptly  inform  the  issuing  and 
forwarding  officer,  and  the  bureau  of  the  department  to  which  the 
property  appertains. 

185.  When  stores  received  do  not  correspond  in  amount  or  quality 
with  the  invoice,  they  will  be  examined  by  a  board  of  survey,  and 
their  report  communicated  to  the  proper  bureau,  to  the  issuing  and 
forwarding  officer,  and  to  the  officer  authorized  to  pay  the  transpor- 
tation account.  Damages  recovered  from  the  carrier  or  other  party 
liable,  will  be  refunded  to  the  proper  department.

bureau  of  the  War  D(!partment,  and  he  shall  designate  an  officer  to 
take  charge  of  the  said  property  or  money  till  orders  in  the  case  are 
received  from  the  proper  authority.

from  the  care  of  it,  the  commanding  officer  shall  designate  an  officer 
to  receive  it,  or  take  charge  of  it  himself,  till,  a  successor  be  regularly 
appointed.  Where  no  officer  can  remain  to  receive  it,  the  com- 
manding officer  will  take  suitable  means  to  secure  it,  and  report  the

212.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to 
quarters,  equal  parties  on  each  side  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be 
allowed  to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable, 
the  men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the 
vessel,  and  the  squads,  in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

213.  Arms  will  be  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  to  be  secure 
from  injur}^  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly — bayonets 
unfixed  and  in  scabbard. 

214.  Ammunition  in  cartridge  boxes  to  be  so  placed  as  to  be  en- 
tirely secure  from  fire ;  resel've  ammunition  to  be  reported  to  the 
master  of  the  transport,  with  request  that  he  designate  a  safe  place 
of  deposit.  Frequent  inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  am- 
munition, to  insure  its  safety  and  good  condition. 

215.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship, 
without  the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

216.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels 
required.  At  sea  the  guard  will  mount  with  side  arms  only.  The 
officer  of  the  guard  will  be  officer  of  the  day. 

217.  Sentinels  will  be  kept  over  the  fires,  with  buckets  of  water 
at  hand,  promptly  to  extinguish  fires.  Smoking  is  prohibited  between 
declcs  or  in  the  cabins,  at  all  times ;  nor  shall  any  lights  be  allowed 
between  decks,  except  such  ship  lanterns  as  the  master  of  the  trans- 
port may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  exe- 
cution of  his  duty. 

218.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes 
to  cook  in  turn ;  no  others  than  those  whose  turn  it  is,  will  be  allowed 
to  loiter  around  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places. 

219.  The  commanding  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  concert 
with  the  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so 
that  in  case  of  alarm,  by  storm,  or  fire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy, 
every  man  may  repair  promptly  to  his  station.  But  he  will  take 
care  not  to  crowd  the  deck.     The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns  or 


QUARTERarASTER'«   DEPARTMENT.  119 

to  assist  the  sailors,  and  those  who  caapnot  be  advantageously,  em- 
ployed with  small  arms,  will  be  forme^  as  a' reserve  between  decks. 

220.  All  the  troops  will  turn  out  a^  A.  ^l.,  without  arms  or 
uniform,  and  (in  warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings ;  when 
every  individual  will  be  clean,  his  hands,  lace  and  feet  washed,  and 
his  hair  combed,  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated 
thirty  minutes  before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  may  be  exempt  from 
o?ie  of  these  inspections  per  day,  if  necessary. 

221.  Recruits  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning 
and  evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time^  when  the  weather 
will  permit. 

222.  Officers  will  enforce  cleanliness  as  indispensable  to  health. 
When  the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  be  brought  on  deck 
every  morning  for  airing.  Tubs  may  be  fixed  on, the  forecastle  for 
bathing,  or  the  men  may  be  jilaced  in  the  chains  and  have  buckets  of 
water  thrown  over  them. 

223.  Between  decks  will  not  be  washed  oftener  than  once  a  week, 
and  only  when  the  weather  is  fine.  The  boards  of  the  lower  berths 
will  be  removed  once  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under 
the  direction  of  the  surgeon  and  the  officer  of  the  day,  frequent 
fumigations  will  be  performed  l)ctween  decks.  The  materials  re- 
quired are — common  salt,  four  ounces;  powdered  oxide  of  manga- 
nese, one  ounce;  sulphuric  acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces 
of  water.  The  diluted  acid,  is  poured  over  the  other  ingredients  in  a 
basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand-bath.  Solutions  of  chloride  of  lime  and 
chloride  of  zinc  are  excellent  disinfecting  agents. 

224.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  will 
be  desired  to  provide  wind-sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hung 
up,  and  frequently  examined,  to  see  that  they  draw  well  and  are  not 
obstructed. 

225.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies  visit  the 
camboose,  and  sec  that  the  messes  are  well  prepared.  The  copjiJ^rs 
and  other  cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed  both 
before  and  after  use. 

220.  The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  or  at 
an  earlier  hour  when  there  is  a  prospect  of  bad  weather ;  and  at  tat- 
too every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.     To  insure  the  exe- 


120  quartermaster's  department. 

cution  of  this  regulation,  tlie  officer  of  the  day,  with  a  lantern,  will 
make  a  tour  between  decks. 

227.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  at  tattoo^  except  such  as  are 
placed  under  sentinels.  The  officer  of  the  day  will  see  to  it,  and 
report  to  the  commanding  officer.  The  officers'  lights  will  be  extin- 
guished at  10  o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue 
them  for  a  longer  time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

228.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troo.ps  will  be  occasionally 
called  to  quarters  by  the  beat  to  arms.  Those  appointed  to  the  guns 
will  be  frequently  exercised  in  the  use  of  them.  The  arms  and 
accoutrements  will  be  frequently  inspected.  The  metallic  parts  of 
the  former  will  be  often  wiped  and  greased  again. 

229.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  on  deck  in  hot  weather 
or  in  the  sun  ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise 
on  deck,  in  squads  by  succession,  when  necessary. 

230.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  surgeon  will  examine 
the  men,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease. 

.231.  The  sick  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the 
healthy  men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant  contagion,  a 
signal  will  be  made  for  the  hospital  vessel  (if  there  be  one  in  com- 
pany), and  the  diseased  men  removed  to  her. 

232.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicines  will  be  taken 
on  each  vessel,  and  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent. 

233.  The  surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hot  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indies,  to  the 
southern  coast  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  those 
latitudes,  great  care  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would 
not  be  competent  to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages, 
are  prejudicial. 

234.  In  harbor,  where  there  "is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men 
may  bathe ;  but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a 

boat.

235.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel  for  the  transportation  of  horses,  care  is 
to  be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  made  for  conveniently 
feeding  and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 


quartermaster's  department.  1'21 

weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast  straps  aud  breeching,  or  b}"  other 
suitable  means ;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  vv'ind-sails,  &c.  The  ventilation  of  stea- 
mers may  be  assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

2-36.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise  or 
when  heated.  lu  hoisting  them  on  bonrd,  the  slings  should  be  made 
fast  to  a  hook  at  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert 
seaman,  so  that  it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The 
horse  should  be  run  up  quickly,  to  prevent  him  from  plunging,  and 
should  be  steadied  by  guide  ropes.  A  halter  is  placed  on  him  before 
he  is  lifted  from  the  ground. 

237.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  thnt  the  horses  are  not  overfed  ; 
bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.  The  face,  eyes  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours,  and,  occa- 
sionall}^  the  mangers  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horses 
sponged  with  vinegar  and  water. 

23S.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the 
cargo  of  each  should  be  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as 
may  be  available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  aud 
they  should  be  placed  on  board  in  sucii  a  manner  that  they  may  be 
easily  reached,  in  tlie  order  in  which  they  arc  reqiured  for  service. 
Each  store-ship  should  be  marked,  at  the  bow  and  stern,  on  both 
sides,  in  large  characters,  with  a  distinctive  letter  and  nund)er.  A 
list  is  to  be  nmde  of  the  stores  on  board  of  each  vessel,  and  of  the 
place  where  they  are  to  be  found  in  it.  A  copy  of  this  list  to  be 
sent  to  the  chief  officer  of  the  proper  department  in  the  expedition, 
or  at  the  place  of  destination. 

BATTLES. 

239.  Before  the  action,  the  quartermaster  of  the  division  makes 
all  tiie  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded. 
lie  establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  as- 
sistants the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  tlie  andmlance 
wagons  and  other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

240.  Tlie  amiiuiance  d<'p(»t.  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or 
directed  for  immedinte  treatment,  is  generally  established  at  the  most 
convenient  building  nearest  the  field  of  battle.  A  rc(f  flog  marks  its 
place  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to 
the  wounded  who  can  walk. 


122  quartermaster's  departjient. 

241.  The  active  ambulances  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor 
the  wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots;  for  this  purpose  the 
conductors  should  always  have  the  nec^sary  assistants,  that  the  sol- 
diers may  have  no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

242.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with 
the  Quartermaster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospi- 
tal attendants  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  and)ulances. 
He  will  send  officers  and  attendants,  when  practicable,  to  the  active 
ambulances,  to  relieve  the  wounded  v/ho  require  treatment  before 
being  removed  from  the  ground.  He  will  see  that  the  depots  and 
aml>ulances  are  provided  with  the  necessary  apparatus,  medicines, 
and  stores.  He  will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at 
the  principal  depot. 

243.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  quartermaster  takes 
the  orders  of  the  General  to  remove  it  or  to  streni^then  its  ouard. 

244.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  are  removed  as  soon 
as  possible,  to  the  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quar- 
termaster-General of  the' army  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

245.  After  an  action,  the  officers  of  ordnance  collect  the  munitions 
of  war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  General. 
The  quartermaster's  department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public  pro- 
perty captured,  and  makes  the  return  to  head  quarters. 

BAGGAGE   TRAINS. 

246.  The  baggage  train  of  general  head  quarters  and  the  trains  of 
the  several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the 
quartermaster's  department.  These  officers  conduct  and  command 
the  trains  under  the  orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  head 
quarters.  When  the  trains  of  different  divisions  march  together,  or 
the  train  of  a  division  marches  with  the  train  of  general  head  quar- 
ters, the  senior,  quartermaster  directs  the  whole. 

247.  The  assistant  quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of 
the  regiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  colonel,,  he  assembles  them 
for  the  march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  park 
and  on  the  march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the 
orders  of  the  quartermaster  of  the  division.  .  When  the  march  is  by 


quarteemaster's  department.  123 

• 

brigade,  the  senior  assistant  .quartermaster  in  tbe  brigade,  or  tbe  quar- 
termaster of  the  brigade,  has  the  direction  of  the  whoh?.  The  neces- 
sary wagon  masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are 
emplo3'ed  with  tlie  several  trains. 

248.  None  but  tlie  aiitliorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  maich  with 
the  train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  head  quarters,  the  regimental 
wagons  an^l  the  wagons  of  sutlers  authoriz(>d  by  orders  from  head 
quarters  to  march  with  the  train,  are  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

249.  When  the  train  of  head  quarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the 
strength  of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  bri- 
gade guard  their  trains  by  tlie  men  attaclied  to  tlie  train  of  the  first 
regiment  of  their  brigades.  The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  un- 
loaded, and  guarded,  as  far  as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men 
not  effective  in  the  ranks;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.  When 
the  guard  of  a  train  is  tlie  escort  for  its  defence,  the  regulations  in 
regard  to  convoys  and  escorts  take  effect. 

2-50.  Habituallv  each  division  is  followed  bv  its  train,  the  resri- 
mental  train  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvous.  When  otherwise, 
the  order  for  the  movement  of  the  divisions,  brigades  and  regiments, 
contains  the  necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and 
marching  of  the  respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  an 
order  analogous  to  the  rank  of  the  Generals,  and  the  order  of  battle 
of  the  troops  to  which  they  belong.  Trains  are  not  allowed  in  any 
case  to  be  in  the  midst  of  the  troops,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the 
troo})s. 

2-31.  The  wagon  masters,  under  the  orders  of  the  officers  of  the 
quart ('rmast<'r's  de})artnient,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the 
teamsters  and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  con- 
duct them  ;  or  who  ill-treat  their  horses,  or  who  attempt  to  pillage, 
or  run  away  in  case  of  an  attack. 

252.  The  officers  of  the  quartermaster's  department,  the  wagon 
masters,  and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that 
the  regulations  respecting  transportation  allowances  are  strictly  ob- 
served.

144  APPENDIX. 

Note. — The  re-enlistmont  act  and  the  conscription  act  secured  the  furlough  as  a  right. 
The  act  of  Feliriiary  7, 1863,  which  provides  for  a  class  not  within  either  of  the  previoue 
acts,  secures  only  transportation  to  such  as  may  receive  the  furlough,  and  in  no  event  com- 
mutation. Transportation  can  be  furnished  to  a  furloughed  soldier,  upon  the  certificate  oi 
'  the  commanding  officer  of  the  company  to  which  he  belongs,  countersigned  by  the  com- 
manding officer  of  the  regiment,  when  it  is  practicable  to  obtain  his  signature,  that  the 
soldier  has  never  received,  on  a  previous  furlough,  transportation  to  his  home,  nor  the  com- 
mutation value  thereof 

Note. — Transportation  is  furnished  when  the  soldier  receives  his  furlough.  The  value 
of  its  commutation  is  the  actual  cost  of  the  transportation  to  the  government  between  the 
place  of  furlough  and  that  of  enrollment  and  back,  estimating  rail  road  travel  at  two  cents 
a  mile  and  stage  and  steam  boat  travel  at  the  usual  rates.

kates  of  rail  road  transportation. 

Confederate  States  of  America, 

Quartermaster  General's  Department, 

Richmond,  Dec.  13,  1861. 
Sir:  / 

I  desire  to  effect  with  the  various  rail  road  coiupaiiies  in  the  Confederate 
States  a  clear  understanding  in  respect  to  the  transportation  of  government  supplies,  and  to 
secure,  if  practicable,  uniformity  of  charges  among  them.  To  that  end,  I  invite  your  at- 
tention tq  the  following  proposition,  with  the  request  that  you  will  communicate  your  ac- 
ceptance, or  other  action  thereon,  at  as  early  a  day  as  possible. 

I  propose  that  the  government  shall  pay  the  rail  road  companies  the  rates  established  by 
the  Chattanooga  convention,  lield  on  the  4th  of  October  last — the  companies  iu  tuin  obli- 
gating them.sclves  to  abide  by  these  rates,  and  to  be  held  to  strict  accountability  for  any 
damage  to,  or  loss  of  freight — subject  to  the  usual  exceptions. 

The  accounts  of  all  companies  that  accent  this  proposition  will  be  adjusted  according  to 
the  rates  referred  to,  from  November  1,  1801. 

This  offer  I  feel  satisfied  is  liberal — enough  so  to  compensate  companies  for  the  unusual 
wear  and  tear  in  their  rolling  stock,  and  to  induce  its  acceptance  on  their  part. 

A.  C.  Myers, 

Q.  M..  General. 

Memo,  of  Chattanooga  Rates. 

First  Class. — Percussion  caps,  powder  and  fixed  ammunition,  45  cents  per  J 00  lbs.  per 
100  miles. 

Second  Class. — All  the  freights  shipped  for  the  government,  except  live  stock,  hay,  bran, 
and  the  articles  enumerated  in  first  class,  at  20  cents  per  100  lbs.  per  100  miles. 

Third  Class. — Live  stock,  per  car  load,  $20  per  car  per  100  miles. 

Fourth  Class. — Hay  and  bran,  per  car  loadf^$I5  per  tax  per  100  miles.

I  hereby  approve  and  accept  the  tariff  for  government  transportation,  adopted  by  the  rail 
road  convention  held  at  Columbin,  South  Carolina,  on  the  4th  S«'ptember  1802,  as  follows: 

Transportation  of  Troops  and  other  persons  on  public  service. 

The  rate  of  two  ccnLs  f^  mile  per  man  for  the  tran8])ortation  of  troops  is  tO  be  adhered 
to  on  the.  main  or  thoroughfare  roads,  and  the  rate  to  be  iucreai>cd  to  three  cents  per  mile  on 


150  APPENDIX. 

the  side  lines,  not  thoroughfares.  (The  words  "  side  lines,  not  thoroughfares,"  include  only 
such  branch  or  independent  roads  as  do  not  connect  at  one  end  with  either  a  rail  road,  a 
navigable  river  or  a  densely  settled  place,  and  are  not  main  or  thoroughfare  roads.)* 

Transportation  of  Government  Freight  by  Freight   Trains. 

These  rates  are  indentical  with  those  adopted  by  the  rail  road  convention  held  at  Chatta- 
nooga on  the  4th  October  1861,  and  are  as  follows: 

First  Class. — Percussion  caps,  powder  and  fixed  ammunition,  45  c^nts  per  100  lbs.  per

The  labor  and  expense  of  loading  and  unloading,  and  the  detention  of  cars  for  the  same, 
being  as  much  for  short  as  for  long  distances,  less  than  100  miles  should  be  charged  as  100 
miles. 

Freight  by  Passenger  Trains. 

Government  freiglit  ordered  and  carried  by  passenger  trains,  to  be  fifty  per  cent,  higher 
than  that  carried  by  freight  trains. 

Through  tickets  to  be  furnished  to  wounded  officers  or  soldiers  and  discharged  men,  at 
the  above  rates. 

For  the  carriage  of  bodies  of  men  killed  in  battle,  or  who  die  in  the  service,  each  rail  road 
shall  adopt  its  own  regulations. 

These  rates  to  go  into  operation  on  the  1st  October  1862.

Q.  M.  General. 

GENERAL  RULES  AS  TO  THE  TRANSACTION  OF  BUSINESS  AND  SETTLEMENT  OF  TRANS- 
rORTATION  ACCOUNTS,  AS.AGREED  UPON  AT  THE  OFFICE  OF  THE  QUARTERMASTER 
GENERAL,  THE   COMPTROLLER,   AND   THE   SECOND  AUDITOR. 

,1.   The  presumption,  as  a  general  rule,  is  in  favor  of  the  voucher. 

2.  All  persons  entitled  to  transportation  under  the  Quartermaster  General's  published 
rules,  and  really  transported,  should  be  paid  for,  whether  the  voucher  presented  consists  of 
a  quartermaster's  order,  the  order  of  some  other  officer,  or  the  certificate  of  the  person 
transported. 

3.  Such  orders  or  certificates  as  express,  or  fairly  admit  of  the  inference  that  the  service 
isito  a  soldier  on  sick  furlough,  under  orders,  or  on  public  business,  are  to  be  deemed  good. 

4.  An  informal  order,  or  certificate  of  transportation,  whether  informal  in  the  body  or  as 
to  the  signature,  if  it  show  the  right  to  pass,  and  that  the  person  has  passed,  is  sufficient. 

5.  An  order  for,  or  certificate  of  the  passage  of  troops,  carriea#^ith  it  all  necessary  bag- 
gage, horses,  «fec.,  whether  expressed  or  not. 


APPENDIX.  161 

6.  Nurses  and  laundresses  to  be  passed,  when  it  is  expressed,  or  can  be  reasonably  sup- 
posed that  tbcy  are  such.  ♦ 

7.  Negro  laborers  on  military  works,  messengers  and  negroes  in  charge  of  public  pro- 
perty, such  as  horses,  wagons,  &c.,  and  as  attendants  of  sick  officers  or  soldiers,  or  the 
corpses  of  such,  arc  entitled  to  pass,  under  orders  of  authorized  officers,  or  other  satisfactory 
evidence  of  transportation. 

8.  Any  paper,  however  informal,  and  whether  an  order  for  or  a  certificate  of  trafisporta- 
tion,  that  satisfactorily  evidences  the  transportation  of  persons  or  of  freight,  entitled  to  pass 
under  the  Quartermaster  General'.^  published  rules,  to  be  regarded  as  a  good  voucher. 

9.  Where  the  service  rendered  is  manifestly  for  the  Confederate  States,  even  though  the 
voucher  rxpress  that  it  is  for  a  state,  or  to  be  charged  to  a  state,  such  service  should  be  paid 
for  by  the  Confederate  States.         ^  \ 

10.  When  impertect  vouchers  can  be  perfected  by  affidavit,  such  affidavit  to  be  made  an<l 

filed  with  the  account. 

11.  An  account  which  is  unsupported  by  vouchers,  or  the  vouchers  for  which  have  been 
lost,  or  otherwise  destroyed,  may  be  made  good  by  an  affidavit  to  the  facts,  and  to  the  ren- 
dition of  _thc  service  charged  for. 

\2.  The  receipts  of  government  officers  for  freight,  anc\  the  receipts  of  the  agents  of  con- 
necting roads,  shall  bt;  sufficient  vouchers. 

13.  All  persons  authorized  to  ask  transportation  of  a  quartermaster,  either  for  themselves, 
or  for  freights,  may  give  certificates  of  service  when  such  orders  cannot  be  procured^'ithout 
injurious  delay — and  such  certificates  shall  be  good  vouchers. 

14.  The  original  order  on  which  coupons  aro  issued  should  accompany  the  first  coupon. 

15.  The  presentation  of  an  order  for  transportation  by  a  rail  road  company  is  prima  fnc'ie 
evidence  of  the  service;  but  the  endorsement  of  the  person  passing,  completes  and  perfi-rts 
the  voucher. 

16.  Inasmuch  as  in  the  beginning  of  the  war  there  were  but  few  rules  and  no  settled 
system  as  to  transportation,  a  liberal  discretion  should  be  exercised  in  regard  to  vouchers 
tor  such  transpiirtation.  R«etrictive  rules  adopted  now  or  hereafter,  should  not  be  applied 
to  such  settlcui'iits. 

I  approve  of  the  above  Rules  and  Regulations. 

Respectfully,  &c.

Comptroller.

taking  possession  of  private  property.  These  agents,  before  making  any  impressments, 
shall  present  their  written  authority,  and  when  they  take  property,  their  receipts  shall  de- 
signate the  officer  who  is  to  pay  for  it. 

General  Orders,  No.  50,  July  18,  1862. 
VI.   Arms  and  munitions  of  war  belonging  to  States,  are  strictly  prohibited  from  being

General  Orders,  No.  56,  August  6,  1862. 

I.  Military  commanders  have  no  authority  to  suspend  the  writ  of  habeas  corpus,  nor 
does  mai-tial  law,  when  declared  by  the  President,  under  the  act  of  Congress,  justify  the 
arbitrary  establishment  of  the  price  of  commodities  in  the  trade  of  the  citizens  of  the  Con- 
federate States.  ** 

II.  Necessity  alone  can  warrant  the  impressment  of  private  property  for  public  use ;  and 
wherever  the  requisite  supplies  can  be  obtained  by  the  consent  of  the  owners  at  fair  rates, 
and  without  hazardous  delay,  the  military  authorities  will  abstain  from  the  harsh  proceed- 
ing of  impressment.

States  of  the  Confederacy,  are  hereby  prohibited,  and  officers  of  the  C.  S.  army  are  enjoined 
to  abstain  carefully  from  such  seizures  and  impressments;  and  in  case  they  are  made  by 
mistake,  such  officers  are  ordered  to  make  prompt  restitution.

agents  written  evidence  of  their  authority  to  act ;  and  agents,  whenever  required  by  parties 
interested,  will  exhibit  the  orders  or  authority  under  trhich  they  are  acting. 

2.  Agents  who  make  impressments,  in  all  cases,  will  give  to  the  owner  of  the  property 
impressed,  or  his  agent,  a  certificate  stating  the  character  and  value  thereof;  and  they  will, 
moreover,  return  to  the  officer  of  this  department,  from  whom  they  derive  their  authority,  a 
statement  of  all  property  impressed  by  them,  with  the  names  of  the  owners.  An  abstract 
of  these  statements  will  be  forwarded  to  this  office  by  the  officer  to  whom  they  are  returned. 

3.  Impressments  must  not  be  resorted  to,  except  when  absolutely  demanded  by  the  pub-

arc  willing  to  reliuquieh  the  same  to  th<^  government,  the  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's 
department  may  pay  the  fair  appraised  value  thereof,  and  take  uj)  the  property  on  their  re- 
turns, to  be  .accounted  for  as  other  public  property. 

6.  When  private  property  has  been  duly  impressed  by  order  of  the  commanding  officer, 
and  it  shall  appear  by  satisfactory  evidence  to  have  been  expended  in  the  public  service, 
officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  department  may  pay  the  fair  appraised  value  thereof,  although

HORSES,  AND  COMPENSATION  THEREFOR. 

1.  Quartennastcrs  do  not  furnish  horses  to  mounted  vohmteers.  They  may,  under  spe- 
cial instructions  from  this  office,  furnish  them  for  light  artillery  companies  entering  the  ser- 
vice, when  accepted,  or  pay  for  the  same  at  a  fair  valuation,  when  supplied  by  the  company. 
(Act  No.  3,  j  9.) 

2.  Non-commissioned  officers,  privates,  miisicians  and  artificers  of  mounted  volunteers

with  their  other  allowances  on  the  muster  and  pay  roll.     (Act  No.^48,  §  7.)  ^ 

3.  This  allowance  is  made  from  the  date  of  enrollment  to  the  date  of  discharge ;  and  also

the  same  by  the  shortest  mail  route,  and  if  there^s  no  mail  route,  by  the  shortest  practicable 
route.     (Act  No.  153.) 

♦  ' 

4.  For  horses  killed  in  action,  mounted  volunteers,  officers  and  men  are  allowed  com- 
pen.saticii  according  to  their  appraised  value  at  the^date  of  muster  into  service.  These 
claims  can  be  paid  by  the  regimental  or  brigade  quartennaster,  on  a  certificate  attesting  the 
fact  that  the  animal  was  killed  in  action,  supported  by  written  evidence  of  its  appraised 
value.     (Act*No.  48,  0  7.)

is  killed,  but  not  afterwards. 

8.  Horses  killed  in  action,  belonging  to  officers  of  the  regular  army  of  the  Confederate 
States,  are  paid  for  through  the  office  of  the  Second  Auditor,  W.  H.  S.  Taylor,  Esq.,  Rich- 
mond, Va.,  who  should  be  addressed  on  the  subject.  Horses  of  mounted  militiamen  in 
the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  are  paid  for  in  like  manner,  when  killed  in  action. 

9.  When  hor.ses  are  lost  in  action  otherwise  than  by  being  killed, .or  are  lost  by  want  of 
forage,  or  by  being  abandoned  under  orders,  or  from  other  recited  cause  of  like  character 
(see  act  of  March  3, 1849),  the  value  thereof,  not  exceeding  $200,  may  be  recovered.by  the 
owner,  whether  iu  the  regular  army,  volunteers  or  militia,  on  presenting  h;s  claim  to  the 
Second  Auditor.

Second  Auditor,  within  the  above  limitation  as  to  value. 

11.  When  the  hor.se  of  a  mounted  volunteer  is  killed,  and  no  appraisement  was  had,  so 
that  a  claim  cannot  be  preferred  under  the  act  of  March  6,  1861,  claim  may  be  made  before 
the  Second  Auditor,  under  the  act  of  March  3,  1849,  subject  to  the  limitation  of  $200. 

12.  The  Second  Auditor  settles  claims  for  horses  and  cavalry  equijaments  purchased  by 
order  of  Col.  Angus  McDonald  to  mount  the  men  he  .was  authorized  to  raise — the  Quarter- 
master General  to  have  control  of  the  horses  and  equipments,  and  to  permit  them  to  remain 
in  the  possession  of  the  volunteers,  upon  their  written  agreement  that  the  same  shall  be 
paid  for  out  of  the  allowances  now  made  for  cavalry  troops.  (Act  No.  227,  Aug.  2J,  1861.

^UNTY. 

The  act  of  congress,  approved  September  27,  1862,  authorizes  the  President  to  suspend 
the  execution  of  the  conscription  law  in  any  locality  where  be  maj*find  it  impracticable  to 
execute  the  same.  By  General  Orders,  No.  74,  the  same  is  suspended  in  the  states  of  Ken- 
tucky and  Missouri.  Volunteers  are  therefore  received  ftom.  these  states,  as  Avas  the  prac- 
tice prior  to  the  conscription  acts. 

The  conscription  law  embraces  all  between  the  ages  of  18  and  45  years ;  but  General 
Orders,  No.  82,  par.  Ill,  directs  its  execution  at  present  by  the  enrollment  of  those  only 
between  the  ages  of  18  and  40.  Volunteering  is  therefore  open  to  all  under  18  and  over 
40 ;  as  it  is  also  to  those  between  those  ages,  ajy  time  prior  to  their  enroUraeut,  when  en- 
tering companies  in  the  service  prior  to  April  16,  1862. 

These  considerations  make  it  important  to  insert  the  following  memoranda  relative  to 
bounty,  since  the  conscription  acts  have  not  repealed  the  act  of  December  11,  1861,  in  re- 
spect to  bounty,  nor  superseded  its  payment : 

General  Ordei's,  No.  1,  January  1,  1862. 
Sec.  1.  The  Congress  of  the  Confederate  States  of  America  do  enact,  that  a  bounty  of  fifty

officers  in  the  provisional  army,  who  shall  serve  continuously  for  three  years,  or  for  the 
war — to  be  paid  at  the  following  times,  to  wit:  To  all  now  in  the  service  for  twelve  months, 
to  be  paid  at  the  time  of  volunteering  or  enlisting  for  the  next  two  ensuing  years  subse- 
quent to  the  expiration  of  their  present  term  of  service.  To  all  now  in  the  service  for  three 
years,  or  for  the  war,  to  be  paid  at  the  expiration  of  their  first  year's  service.  To  all  who 
may  hereafter  volunteer  or  enlist  for  three  years,  or  for  the  war,  to  be  paid  at  the  time  of 
entry  into  service.     (Act  Dec.  11,  1861.) 

General  Orders,  No.  23,  April  9,  1862. 
4.   The  accounts  for  tlie  settlement  of  the  bounty  money  will  be  liauded  in,  or  sent  to  the 
Quartermaster  General's  office.     All  balances  of  .this  fund  will  be  turned  over  to  an  officer 
of  the  Quartermaster's  department. 

General  Orders,  No.  30,  April  28,  1862. 
Sec.  7.  Be  it  further  enacted,  that  all  soldiers  now  serving  in  the  army  or  mustered  in 
the  military  service  of  the  Confederate  States;  or  enrolled  in  said  service  under  the  authori- 
zations heretofore  issued  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  and  who  are  continued  in  the  service  by 
virtue  of  this  act,  who  have  not  received  the  bounty  of  fifty  dollars  allowed  by  existing 
laws,  sjiall  be  entitled  to  receive  said  bounty.     (Act  April  16,  1862.) 

NoTii:.-=-By  section  1  of  same  act,  "all  white  men,  residents  of  the  Confederate  States, 
between  the  ages  of  18  and  35  years,  now  in  tlie  armies  of  the  Cpnfederacy,  whose  terra  of 
service  will  expire  before  the  end  of  the  war,  shall  bi'  continued  in  the  service  three  years 
from  the  date  of  their  original  enlistment,  unless  the  war  shall  have  been  sooner  ended." 
These  men  are  entitled  to  bounty;  but  not  those  under  18  and  over  35  years  of  age,  who 
were  required  to  remain  in  service  for  UO  days. 

General  Orders,  No.  77,  October  22,  1862.

II.   Payments  upon  company  rolls  will  be  made,  when  practicable,  at  the  end  of  every 
two  (2)  months — as  January  and  February,  March  and  April,  &c.     In  no  instance  must  a 
company  be  jmid  to  a  date  including  a  fractional  portion  of  a  month,  unless  discharged. 

General  Orderp,  No.  26,  April  19,  1862. 

I.  It  is  made  the  duty  of  commanding  officers  of  companies  to  sign,  with  their  own  pro- 
per signatures,  all  muster  rolls  of  their  companies,  all  final  statements,  certificates  of  disa- 
bility and  descriptive  lists.  That  power  is  not  to  bo  delegated  to  or  exercised  by  any  other 
person.  Soldiers'  discharges  will  be  signed  by  commanding  officers  of  regiments  or  com- 
mands to  which  their  companies  belong.  Great  confusion  daily  arises  from  the  coAtant 
pursuai  of  a  different  course.  Sick,  disabled  and  discharged  soldiers  arc  very  oft^'n  unable 
to  obtain  their  pay,  the  discrepancy  of  signatures  rendering  it  impossible  for  this  depart- 
ment to  verify  the  same. 

II.  Attention  is  called  to  paragraph  1066,  Army  Regulations,  which  provides,  that  "aa 
far  as  practicAble,  officers  are  to  draw  their  p.iy  from  the  quartermaster  of  the  district  where 
they  may  be  on  duty."  Hereafter,  no  payment  will  be  made  to  an  officer,  on  separate  pay 
account,  by  jmy  other  than  the  quartermaster  of  the  post  or  regiment  to  which  the  officer

may  belong,  except  he  be  absent  from  his' station  uniler  orders,  on  leave,  or  on  account  of 
sickness,  and  then  only  from  the  first  of  the  month,  dining  which  such  absence  occurs,  to 
its  termination,  and  for  such  subsequent  full  mouth,  or  months,  as  he  may  continue  to  be 
detached  from  his  regular  station,  unless  he  furnishes  satisfactory  evidence  that  payment 
could  not  be  made  him  before  leaving.  * 

General  Orderg,  No.  81,  November  1,  1862. 
I.  The  payment  of  commissioned  officers  by  aqy  other  quartermaster  than  the  quarter- 
master of  the  command  to  which  they  belong,  is  hereby  prohibited,  unless  they  exhibit  to 
the  quartermaster  to  whom  application  for  payment  is  made,  orders  from  their  commanding 
officers,  or  from  the  department,  showing  them  to  be  absent  on  detached  duty,  or  leaves  of 
absence  from  the  commanding  General  under  whom  they  are  serving.

VIII.  Upon  the  return  to  their  companies  of  detached  men,  who  have  beeiT  furnished 
with  "  descriptive  lists,"  it  is  the  dxity  of  captains  or  commanders  of  companies  to  take 
possession  of  such  descriptive  lists,  and,  should  the  soldier  be,  again  detached,  to  furnish 
him  a  new  one.  Payments  upon  descriptive  lists  will  be  made  only  in  cases  of  necessity, 
and  then  only  up  to  the  date  of  last  muster.

III.  Paroled  or  exchanged  prisoners,  sick  or  wounded,  in  hospitals,  who  have  not  been 
furnished  with  descriptive  lists,  will  be  mustered  for  payment  upon  the  hospital  rolls,  by 
surgeons  in  charge,  upon  their  affidavit  that  they  have  not  received  pay  for  the  period  for 
which  they  claim  it  to  be  due,  and  are  not  indebted  to  the  confederate  government  beyond 
the  amount  which  may  be  stated.

and  by  paragraph  II,  General  Orders,  No.  68,  it  is  hereby  directed  that  the  Orders  above 
referred  to  be  so  limited  as  to  embrace  only  the  monthly  pay  of  the  soldier  mustered  on  the 
hospital  rolls ;  and  all  quartermasters  making  payments  to  troops  referred  to  in  said  Orders, 
are  required  regularly  to  forward,  through  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  office,  to 
the  company  commanders  of  such  troops  (to  be  noted  on  the  company  rolls),  an  accurate

guilty  of  concealing  any  case  of  unauthorized  absence,  shall,  on  conviction  thereof,  be 
Bummarily  dismissed. 

V.  Under  the  provisions  of  tlie  2d  clause  of  paragraph  II  of  General  Orders,  No.  82,

the  foregoing  Order.  Any  disbursing  officer  who  shall  make  payment  in  violation  of  this 
Order,  shall  be  liable  on  his  bond  for  the  amount  of  such  payment. 

1.  Volunteers  are  entitled  to  pay  and  allowances  from  the  date  of  their  muster  into  the

department,  from  the  date  of  such  acceptance ;  which  should  then  be  indicated  ojkf]the  nms- 
ter  rolls  by  the  uuistering  officer. 

2.  Troops  raised  by  a  state  for  the  Confederate  States  service,  are  considered  as  being

tant and  offic(;rs  of  the  gencal  staff,  are  always  appointed  by  the  President.  They  are 
therefore  never  mustered  into  service,  and  they  receive  pay  according  to  the  following

The  act  of  congress  recently  passed,  of  October  8, 1862,  abolishes  commutation  for  cloth- 
ing. Many  of  the  following  rules  have  thereby  become  obsolete,  except  so  far  as  they 
relate  to  transactions  previous  to  the  date  of  the  act.  They  are  inserted  as  illustrating  ac- 
counts yet  to  be  settled,  and  for  the  convenience  of  reference.  Sections  13  and  14  are  still 
applicable.

troops,  in  quantities  fixed  by  the  Eegulations,  regardless  of  its  cost ;  and  they  are  never 
charged  with  any  excess  in  th(^  value  thereof  over  the  money  allowance.  When,  in  cases 
of  necessity,  articles  of  clothing  liave  to  be  issued  after  commutation  has  b('en  received,  or 
in  excess  of  the  regular  allowance,  the  value  thereof,  ascertained  from  the  invoice,  will  bo 
entered  as  a  stoppage. 

2.  Paragraph  No.  76  of  the  Regulations  fixes  tlie  clothing  allowance. 

3.  When  any  state  furnishes  its  troops  in  the  confederate  service  with  clothing,  according 
^  to  the  Regulations,  payment  therefor  will  be  made,  under  special  instructions,  <at  the  com- 
mutation rate  of  $  2b  for  every  six  months,  on  receipts  produced  by  the  state,  signed  by 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  regiment,  battalion  or  indepcmdent  company,  as  the  case,  may 
be,  certifying  the  number  of  men  actually  furnished  by  the  state.  (Act  No.  256.  Circular 
Secretary  of  War,  Oct.  10,  1861.) 

4.  Commanders  of  companies  may  draw  commutation  of  clothing,  at  the  rate  of  $  25 
per  man  for  every  six  months'  service,  when  they  shall  have  furnished  their  own  clothing.

II.  As  in  the  case  of  "barrels  and  sacks,"  officers  of  the  Subsistence-  department  receiv- 
ing beeves,  will  deliver  to  the  commissaries  from  whom  they  draw  supplies,  a  like  number 
of  hides.  The  issuing  commissary  will  transfer  them  to  tie  quartermaster  charged  with 
their  collection.

of  the  Quartermaster's  department  will  hereafter  take  notice  that  such  allowances  are  ille- 
gal, and  will  not  be  admitted  in  accounts  passing  through  the  Quartermaster  General's 
o£&ce. 

General  Orders,  No.  82,  November  3,  1862. 
VII.    FRIENDS,   DUNKARDS,   NAZARENES   AND   MENNONITES. 

All  persons  of  the  above  denominations,  in  regular  membership  therein  on  the  11th  day 
of  October  1862,  shall  be  exempt  from  enrollment,  on  fm"uishing  a  substitute,  or  on  pre- 
senting to  the  enrolling  officer  a  receipt  from  a  bonded  quartermaster  for  the  tax  of  five 
hundred  dollars  imposed  by  act  of  congress,  tind  an  affidavit  by  the  bishop,  presiding 
elder,  or  other  officer  whose  duty 'it  is  to  preserve  the  records  of  membership  in  the  denomi-

day  of  October  18G2  was  in  regular  membership  with  such  denomination.  The  affidavit 
must  be  taken  and  certified  by  a  justice  of  the  peace,  or  other  officer  appointed  by  the  law 
of  his  state  to  administer  oaths ;  and  his  authority  to  administer  oaths  must  be  certified  by 
the  clerk  of  a  court  of  record,  under  the  seal  of  the  court. 

All  assistant  quartermasters,  to  whom  the  said  tax  is  tendered,  will  receive  and  receipt  for 
it,  and  pay  the  same  into  the  treasury  of  the  Confederate  States,  without  unreasonable  delay. 
The  enrolling  officer  will  receive  the  receipt  and  forward  it  to  tfie  commandant  of  conscripts, 
by  whom  it  will  be  forwarded  to  the  Quartermaster  General,  who  will  charge  the  assistant 
quartermaster  with  the  amount  received  by  him. 

I^OTE. — Quartermasters  receiving  this  tax  will  transmit  it  monthly  to  the  Treasurer  of 
the  Confederate  States,  who  will  receipt  therefor.  They  will  charge  themselves  quarterly 
with  the  suras  received,  and  v.ill  return  the  treasui-er's  receipts  as  vouchers.  In  both  cases, 
the.  names  of  the  individuals  who  pay  the  tax  will  be  stated. 

General  Orders,  No.  13,  March  13,  1862. 
V.  Wastage  of  damaged  powder  and  ammunition  in  camps  and  at  batteries,  having 
been  reported,  it  is  made  the  duty  of  officers  in  charge  thereof  to  turn  it  over  to  the  nearest 
ordnance  officer ;  or,  he  being  absent,  to  the  quartermaster,  who  will  forward  it,  with  in- 
voices of  the  amount,  to  the  ordnance  officer  at  Richmond,  Ealeigh,  Augusta  or  New  Or- 
leans, depending  on  their  distance  from  those  points  respectively.  The  same  will  be  done 
with  all  unserviceable  arms. 

General  Orders,  No.  82,  November  3,  1862. 
II.    COMMANDANTS   OF   CONSCRIPTS   AND   CAMPS  OF   INSTRUCTION. 

1.  An  officer,  styled  the  "commandant  of  conscripts,"  will  be  appointed  for  each  state, 
who  will  be  charged  with  the  supervision  of  the  enrollment  and  disposition  of  conscripts. 
He  will  establish  one  or  more  camps,  in  which  conscripts  will  be  assembled  and  instructed, 
and  may  recommend  for  appointment  a  surgeon,  a  quartermaster,  a  commissary,  and  the 
requisite  number  of  drill  masters  for  each  camp.  If  more  than  one  camp  be  established,  he 
may  also  recommend  a  commandant  for  each  camp  not  under  his  own  immediate  command. 

2.  A  hospital  will  be  established  and  huts  for  winter  quarters  constructed  at  each  camp ; 
and  all  conscripts  assembled  at  the  camps  will  be  promptly  vaccinated,  if  it  has  not  already 
been  done. 

ESTIMATES  AND  REQUISITIONS. 

1.  Remittances  are  asked  by  the  Quartermaster  General  on  the  estimates  of  officers  (cor- 
rected when  necessary)  immediately  on  their  receipt.  The  forwarding  of  funds  then  rests 
with  the  Treasury  department;  and  officers  will  be  notified  by  the  treasurer  when  the  mo- 
ney has  been  placed  to  their  credit.  It  will  then  be  subject  to  their  draft,  or  it  will  be  sent, 
when  desired,  to  the  officer  by  express,  at  the  cost  and  risk  of  the  government.  In  the 
latter  case,  the  officer's  check  should  always  be  forwarded. 


APPENDIX.  191 

2.  Estimates  for  funds  and  requisitions  for  siipplifrs  will  bo  transmitted  through  the  prin- 
cipal quartermaster  of  an  army,  by  whom  tboy  will  be  consolidated. 

3.  Neither  requisitions  nor  estimates  will  ever  be  embodied  in  a  lotter,  but  will  be  en- 
closed therein  in  the  form  prescribed  by  the  Rc^g'ulations ;  and  each  will  be  distinct  from  tho 
other,  so  as  to  admit  of  proper  reference.  For  the  like  reason,  communications  on  the  Pay 
Branch  will  be  distinct  from  those  that  relate  to  the  affairs  of  the  department  in  general. 

BLANKS,  STATIONKRY,  ETC. 

4.  Blank  forms  furnished  by  this  department,  may  be  obtained  by  requisitions  mivde  di- 
rectly on  the  office  of  Lieut.  Col.  L.  Smith,  Assistant  Quartermaster  (icncral,  in  charge  of 
tho  depot  of  supplies  at  Richmond.  Stationery  may  be  procured  in  like  ananner,  or  by 
purchase,  when  circumstances  allow.  Copies  of  the  Regulations  of  this  department  will 
be  furnished  by  this  office  to  all  quartermasters  entering  on  the  discharge  of  their  duties, 
and  when  the  same  are  republished  with  additions.  Every  officer  will  acknowledge  by  let- 
ter the  receipt  of  the  within  Regulations,  and  those  hereallcr  issued ;  and  the  same  will  bo 
preserved  and  accounted  for  as  public  property. 

5.  BlanJt  muster  and  pay  rolls  are  furnished  by  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  de- 
partment— not  by  the  Quartermaster's  dcpa*nent.  They  arc  sent  in  bulk  to  the  head 
quarters  of  each  army,  and  thence  distributed  through  divisions,  brigades,  «&c.  to  company 
and  paying  officers. 

6.  All  communications  to  this  office  will  be  marked,  on  the  outside,  "  Official  Business." 

7.  Officers  of  this  department  will  be  careful  to  send  telegrams  only  in  cases  of  necessity 
and  when  the  business  is  important.  Wh^n  this  privilege  is  abused,  the  cost  of  the  mes- 
sage will  be  charged  to  tho  officer. 

8.  The  chief  quartermasters  of  each  army  will  forward  to  this  office  copies  of  all  circulars 
and  of  all  printed  orders  or  instructions,  and  of  all  written  orders  of  unusual  importance, 
issued  by  them. 

9.  All  officers  of  this  department,  who  receive  from  the  treasury  and  pay  out  interest 
bearing  (7.:?0)  treasury  notes,  will  write  or  stamp  on  the  back  thereof  tho  date  on  which 
they  are  paid  out  by  them. 

10.  Officers  of  this  department  are  authorized  to  receive  all  military  supplies  subscribed 
undt-r  the  produce  loan  act,  that  can  be  issued  according  to  the  Army  Regulatioas,  and 
ttat  may  be  needed  by  the  commands  to  which  they  are  attached.  They  will  pay  therefor 
in  confederate  bonds,  with  interest  from  the  date  of  the  deliveiy,  and  will  notify  the 
commissioner  of  the  loan  at  Richmond,  of  the  receipt  of  the  supplies,  slating  their  cliarac- 
t<:r,  amount,  value,  and  by  whom  delivered.  Officers  will  be  careful  also  to  take  up  on  their 
property  returns  and  account  for  supplies  thus  received,  as  they  would  those  obtained  by 
ordinary  purchase. 

11.  All  quartermasters  and  assistant  quartermasters  are  appointed  through  the  War  de- 
partment. None  are  mu.stcred  in  from  state  service.  State  officers  thenforo  will  never  bo 
recognized  in  the  transfer  of  public  funds  or  other  property ;  nor  will  transfers  thereof  be 
made  to  officers  duly  appointed  in  the  Confederate  States  service,  tuitil  their  official  bonds 
have  been  filed  in  and  approved  by  the  War  department 

12.  In  cases  of  urgent  necessity,  quartermasters'  funds  and  pay  funds  may  be  used  for 
either  branch  of  the  service.     They  should,  however,  us  for  as  possible,  be  expended  and 


192  •  APPENDIX. 

accounted  for  as  remitted.     Bounty  fuads  uiust  be  accounted  for  strictly  as  such,  the  appro- 
priation being  distinct  in  its  character. 

13.  All  (luarternjasters  and  regimental  officers  will  apply  in  the  first  instance,  as  far  as 
may  be  practicable,  to  the  chief  quartermaster  of  the  comuiaud  to  which  they  may  be  at- 
tached, for  iuformation  respcjcting  the  affairs  of  this  department.  This  course  will  save 
time  and  unnecessary  correspondence. 

14.  All  public  animals,  so  reduced  as  to  be  unfit  for  service,  will  be  restored,  where  it  is 
possible,  by  rest  and  pasturage.  Only  when  tl*y  are  past  recovery  with  care,  will  steps 
be  taken  to  effect  a  sale;  and  then  the  course  prescribedjn  the  Eegulations,  pages  113  and 
114,  will  be  adhered  to  strictly. 

15.  Clothing  or  other  quartermasters'  supplies  will  not  be  issued  to  employees  from  civil 
life,  except  as  herein  after  allowed  in  the  case  of  teamsters. 

Ifi.  Officers  will  not  be  alloAved  to  purchase  ixom  this  department  any  article  of  clothing, 
or  material  therefor,  suitable  for  issue  to  the  privates,  unless  there  be  an  excess. 

17.  The  maximum  prices  to  be  paid  for  teamsters,  bj'  contract  or  impressment,  shall  be 
at  the  rate  of  $  25  per  mouth— rations  furnished  by  the  government.  When  the  hiring  or 
impressment  is  for  the  year,  the  price  sha]^  not  exceed  $240— rations  and  clothing  to  be 
furnished  by  the  government. 

18.  Quartermasters  are  prohibited  by  the  act  of  February  15,  1862,  No.  399,  from  em- 
ploying clerks  from  civil  life.  Those  employed  prior  to  that  date,  under  the  sanction  of 
this  office,  can  be  retained  so  long  as  they  may  be  necessary ;  but  all  clerical  force  there- 
after needed  must  be  procured  by  details  made  from  the  ranks  by  the  commanding  officer. 

19.  The  act  of  May  21,  1861,  No.  181,  section  1,  devolves  on  the  Quartermaster  General 
and  his  subordinates  the  duty  of  providing  for  the  safe  custody  and  sustenance  of  prisoners 
of  war.  The  rations  furnished  to  them  are  purchased  by  the  quartermaster,  and  will  be  the 
same  in  quantity  and  quality  as  those  received  by  enlisted  men  in  the  army  of  the  Confede- 
rate States. 

20.  Ofiicers  of  the  Quartermaster's  department  will  give  accounts,  certified,  to  be  paid 
by  other  officers,  only  in  cases  of  necessity.  They  will  always  give  them  rather  than  in- 
formal memoranda,  which  produce  trouble  both  for  the  claimants,  and  this  office.  Officers 
will  observe  this  rule  strictly,  and  they  will  be  held  to  accountability  for  any  departure 
therefrom. 

21.  Detachments  may  bb  provided  with  forage  in  the  following  manner:  The  quarter- 
master will  provide  the  officer  in  charge  with-  blank  requisitions  and  Form  No.  12.  These 
will  be  left  by  the  officer,  after  being  filled  up,  with  the  individual  from  whom  he  procures 
forage,  who  in  his  tm-n  will  receipt  No.  12,  and  forward  these  papers,  or  present  them  in 
person  to  the  quartermaster.  In  this  way  the  quartermaster's  money  and  property  respon- 
sibility will  both  be  met. 

22.  The  act  of  May  18,  1826,  section  3,  provides,  "  that  in  case  of  deficiency,  on  final 
settlement,  of  any  article  of  supplies,  the  value  thereof  shall  be  charged  against  the  delin- 
quent, and  deducted  from  his  monthly  pay,  unless  he  shall  show,  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
Secretary  of  War,  by  one  or  more  depositions,  setting  forth  the  circumstances  of  the  case, 
that  the  said  deficiency  was  occasioned  by  unavoidable  accident,  or  was  lost  in  actual  apr- 
vice,  without  any  fault  on  his  part:  and  in  case  of  damage,  he  shall  also  be  subject  to 
charge  for  the  damage  actually  sustained,  unless  he  shall  show,  in  like  manner,  to  the  satis- 


APPEliDIX.  193 

faction  pf  tho  Secretary  of  War,  that  due  c-aro  and  attention  were  given  to  the  preservation 
of  said  supplies,  and  that  tho  damage  did  not  result  from  neglect."  (See  sections  177  ^d 
182,  and  Forms  Nos.  42  and  43,  Regulations.) 

23.  As  tho  appropriation  for  army  contingencies  is  no  longer  distinct  in  its  character, 
then  is  jio  occasion  to  use  a  separate  account  current  and  abstract  therefor.  (Sec  section 
95,  and  Forms  Nos.  48  and  49;  also  Nos.  10  and  11.) 

24.  All  quartermaster's  stores,  including  clothing  and  camp  and  garrison  equipage,  may 
be  ftccouuted  lor  by  officers  of  this  department,  on  I^orm  No.  23.     (See  Form  No.  52.) 

25.  In  making  the  appointments  of  quartermasters  and  assistant  quartermasters,  the  re- 
commendation of  the  commanding  officer  of  the  brigade  or  regiment  is  respected.  Tho 
same  is- true  in  respect  to  a  battalion ;  but  that  organization  is  allowed  only  one  assistant 
quartermaster  or  commissary

MEMO.  OF  MONTGOMERY  RATES. 

AprU  26,  1861. 

Resolved,  that  the  several  rail  road  companies  represented  in  this  convention,  will  trans- 
port troops  and  muuitions  upon  the  plan  indicated  by  the  Quartermaster  General,  at  the 
following'  rates,  viz:  Men,  two  cents  per  mile;  munitions,  provisions  and  material,  at  half 
the  regular  local  rates. 

Resolved,  that  the  companies  tfepresented  in  this  convention  will  receive  in  payment  for 
the  transportation  of  troops,  munitions  and  provisions,  over  the  several  roads,  at  par,  the 
bonds  or  treasury  notes  of  the  Confederate  States,  whenever  it  is  deemed  necessary,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  secretary  of  the  treasury,  to  make  payments  in  that  manner. 

Resolved,  that  the  tw»  foregoing  Resolutions  in  relation  to  the  transportation  of  men,  pro- 
visions and  munitions,  take  effect  on  the  first  day  of  May  next. 

MEMO.  OF  RICHMOND  RATES. 

July  la,  1861. 

At  this  convention,  composed  of  the  rail  road  companies  of  the  state  of  Virginia,  the 
above  resolutions  of  the  Montgomery  convention  were  adopted,  to  take  effect  July  1,  1861, 
with  the  following  exception : 

Resolved,  that  this  convention  think  it  just  to  make  an  exception  from  the  terms  specified 
in  the  foregoing  resolutions,  in  the  ca.scs  of  the  Richmond  and  Petersburg  rail  road  com- 
pany, and  the  Norfolk  and  retcrsburg  rail  road  company,  for  the  reason  in  the  former  case, 
that  the  length  of  the  road  is  only  twenty-two  and  a  half  miles,  and  in  the  latter  case,  that 
the  local  rates,  for  special  reasons,  are  unusually  low. 

Resolved,  that  in  order  to  meet  the  exceptional  cases  above  mentioned,  the  convention 
think  it  would  be  just  that  the  rate  on  the  Richmond  and  Petersburg  rail  road  should  bo  2i 
cents  per  mile  on  troops,  and  the  rates  on  the  Norfolk  and  Petersburg  ^ail  road  should  be 
adjusted  on  the  basis  of  the  local  rates  of  the  Seaboard  and  Roanoke  rail  road,'Svhich  is  of 
equal  length,  and  nins  through  a  similar  country. 

The  convention  also  "  Resolved,  that  this  convention  pledges  each  company  represented, 
that  they  will  give  the  precedence  to  troops  and  munitions  of  war  over  all  other  transpor- 
tation in  the  right  to  their  track,  and  that  whenever  necessary  they  will  stop  the  transpor- 
tation of  ordinary  freight  and  of  the  mail  and  passengers."
